2016br. Il sole infuocato si spegne nel mare dietro le mura dell'antico borgo medievale di Tossa de Mar, in Costa Brava. Le mani strette intorno a un drink ghiacciato, Peter Ross, giovane e brillante radiologo americano, incrocia lo sguardo di un'affascinante straniera. Le donne sono sempre state il suo punto debole. Ma questa volta, cedere a quella che inizialmente sembra soltanto una richiesta stravagante rischia di essere il più grande errore della sua vita. In poche ore Peter si trova catapultato dal caldo assolato della spiaggia al freddo gelido di una sala per autopsie, minacciato da tre uomini in abito scuro appena sbarcati da un volo proveniente dagli Stati Uniti. Peter non è abilitato a effettuare un'autopsia, sa a mala pena da dove cominciare. Ma a loro non importa: vogliono solo che lui nasconda qualcosa all'interno di un cadavere. Qualcosa di prezioso. Qualcosa per cui sono disposti a uccidere. E non sono gli unici. Appena terminata l'operazione, Peter si trova al centro di una spietata resa dei conti tra bande rivali, una corsa a perdifiato dalle torri moresche dell'Alhambra di Granada ai vicoli bagnati dalla pioggia di Parigi. Solo, nemmeno consapevole di ciò che ha appena fatto, Peter deve far affidamento su tutte le proprie risorse per fronteggiare la minaccia di un pericoloso scienziato, disposto a tutto per recuperare l'oggetto nascosto nel cadavere. Perché quell'oggetto permette di evocare un potere antico e terribile, qualcosa che può cambiare per sempre i destini del mondo...

2017br. La Rivoluzione è alle porte: San Pietroburgo è una città vitale e travolgente, centro nevralgico di una nazione in bilico sull'orlo di un cambiamento epocale. Qui la cavalleria prova a ricacciare indietro lo spettro del comunismo; l'antisemitismo mostra il suo volto più scellerato; lo zar è l'ago di una bilancia impazzita e un grande torneo di scacchi sta per iniziare. In un giorno di marzo, Gul'ko, rispettabile direttore di giornale, viene assassinato. Cinque giorni dopo il dottor Otto Spethmann, famoso psicoanalista freudiano, riceve la visita della polizia. La città è una ragnatela inestricabile di complotti in cui paiono coinvolti tutti: la sua adorata e ribelle figlia; un campione di scacchi in crisi; un virtuoso del violino donnaiolo e spendaccione; una signora dell'alta società tormentata da un incubo ricorrente. Spethmann è molto preoccupato e cerca, armato di una conoscenza profonda dell'animo umano e dei suoi istinti più nascosti, di dipanare il filo oscuro delle relazioni, di comprendere i moventi che spingono all'azione. Sulla sua scacchiera, disputa una partita reale e una simbolica nel tentativo di organizzare e non farsi travolgere dalle strepitose forze politiche, storiche ed erotiche - che turbinano intorno a lui.

2015br. Pristina, Kosovo, alla fine della prima decade del nuovo millennio. Tre poliziotti, già inquadrati nell'Uck durante la cruenta guerra civile tra serbi e albanesi che ha insanguinato il Kosovo, organizzano un attentato dinamitardo per uccidere l'assassino di un loro collega e, forse, per conquistare il cuore di Valentina, la più bella cantante del Kosovo. L'unica legge cui obbediscono è quella scritta nel Kanun, il codice consuetudinario della tradizione albanese che prevede l'obbligatorietà della vendetta e il disonore per chi si rifiuta di compierla. L'esplosione del potente ordigno provoca un'inutile strage sulla quale indaga un magistrato italiano inviato in Kosovo come pubblico ministero internazionale. Il racconto, ispirato a un fatto realmente accaduto e scritto dalla prospettiva di Nikolla, uno dei tre poliziotti kosovari, dipinge, oltre alla vicenda criminale, la violenza, l'odio etnico, il machismo che ancora prosperano in certe aree dei Balcani.
2015ril. La pioggia di fine estate è implacabile e lava via ogni traccia: ecco perché stavolta la scena del crimine è un enigma indecifrabile. Una sola cosa è chiara: chiunque abbia ucciso la donna, ancora non identificata, l'ha fatto con la cura meticolosa di un chirurgo, usando i propri affilati strumenti per mettere in scena una morte. Perché la morte è uno spettacolo. Lo sa bene, Enrico Mancini. Lui non è un commissario come gli altri. Lui sa nascondere perfettamente i suoi dolori, le sue fragilità. Si è specializzato a Quantico, lui, in crimini seriali. È un duro. Se non fosse per quella inconfessabile debolezza nel posare gli occhi sui poveri corpi vittime della cieca violenza altrui. È uno spettacolo a cui non riesce a riabituarsi. E quell'odore. L'odore dell'inferno, pensa ogni volta. Così, Mancini rifiuta il caso. Rifiuta l'idea stessa che a colpire sia un killer seriale. Anche se il suo istinto, dopo un solo omicidio, ne è certo. E l'istinto di Mancini non sbaglia: è con il secondo omicidio che la città piomba nell'incubo. Messo alle strette, il commissario è costretto ad accettare l'indagine... E accettare anche l'idea che forse non riuscirà a fermare l'omicida prima che il suo disegno si compia. Prima che il killer mostri a tutti - soprattutto a lui - che è così che si uccide.
